Vancouver station (Washington)


Vancouver is an Amtrak train station in Vancouver, Washington, United States. The station is served by the Cascades, Coast Starlight, and Empire Builder trains.
It is a unique, two-sided station situated in a "wye", where passengers board the Empire Builder on the southeast side of the station while the Amtrak Cascades and Coast Starlight are boarded on the northwest side of the station. The station building is now open after extensive interior renovations.
Of the 19 Washington stations served by Amtrak, Vancouver was the third busiest in FY14.

Service

Although the Amtrak Cascades runs between Eugene, Oregon and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, there is no train that starts at one terminus and ends at the other. However, each day eight Amtrak Cascades trains stop at the Vancouver, Washington Station. The Coast Starlight and Empire Builder run less frequently. The Coast Starlightruns daily in each direction between Los Angeles, California and Seattle. The Empire Builder runs daily in each direction between Chicago and Portland. After having split in Spokane, part of the Empire Builder train continues on to Seattle—this part does not pass through or stop at Vancouver.
